  • Comment: First time at DYK, I think the Cold War hook is more interesting to a general reader, although someone into architecture would be more interested about the hollow ceramic blocks (but most of that information is out of scope for the article).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Really nice inaugural article from new user Abydocomist about a historic house in West Auckland, New Zealand (hopefully many more to come!) Since I am taking the Clough & Associates reference on good faith (I had problems accessing it on my browser) I would rather stick with ALT0. I also removed a possibly promotional sentence which used an unreliable source. Havradim leaf a message 08:00, 24 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Date discrepancy?

Hi there. I just noticed the lede says both "early 20th century" and "constructed in the late 1890s". Would it be an idea to re-word one of these so they aren't contradictory? - e.g. instead of "early 20th century" have "turn of the 20th century"? Daveosaurus ( talk) 04:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Construction started in the late 1890s and finished in the 20th century. There is certainly a better way to word this. Abydocomist ( talk) 06:39, 30 May 2024 (UTC) reply
